About this listen
"The man you love has been murdered. You'd do anything to find out the truth. Wouldn't you?"
A man lies dead in a hotel room, and the police attend his home address to inform the widow. Nothing unusual, until DC Freya West realises that the victim is the man she has been having an affair with. The future she imagined has been snatched away.
Meanwhile, her new boss, DS Robin Butler, is preoccupied with his own problems. Mistakes he thought were buried deep in his past now threaten to be exposed. Before long, both Butler and West are keeping secrets that could end their careers – and worse.
When the detectives have a chance to tell the truth, they choose to keep quiet. But once that line is crossed, is there any going back? After all, breaking the law is easy when you know how to uphold it.
Don't miss this tense and compulsive police procedural thriller. Perfect for fans of Sunday Times bestselling authors Cara Hunter, Susie Steiner and Jane Casey.

This is punchy, police procedural stuff: just as her protagonists don't play by the book, so Scarr takes the traditional set-up into darker, dirtier, more intriguing terrain.
-- Hampshire Living
A superbly crafted, perfectly paced thriller... The fact that Butler & West have just as much to hide as the people they hunt, makes this such a compelling read, and the start of a captivating new series that's hooked me in from the very first book.
-- Robert Scragg, author of All That Is Buried
The delicious joy of discovering a brilliant new crime series! ... Our detectives, Butler and West, are a duo for our days; bound by their troubles, loneliness and secrets into an unlikely alliance. You'll fall for them, and this novel, in a big way!
-- Jo Furniss, author of All the Little Children
Tightly plotted with superb characterisation... It's a book you won't be able to turn away from until you reach the very last page.
-- Alison Belsham, author of The Tattoo Thief
Fantastic story and characterisation with a pair of detectives who are battling their own demons amidst an apparent suburban suicide.
-- James Delargy, author of Vanished

Fantastic narrator, engaging characters
I’ve really enjoyed the character development and their many flaws in their personal decision making as well as their work. I felt very connected to the lead characters and their struggles, without feeling irritated by their sometimes poor judgement. It has heart, humour and interwoven complexities that kept me wanting more. I really hope there’s more books coming in the series as it’s easy listening and the narrator should get more work, he’s brilliant and would love to hear more of him. Great start.
